Log in to ocPortal using your Facebook account

Crud. I had to comment out that whole function so it was just a blank function in order to even log into my site.

Now when I go to admin->addons I get

Code


PHP ERROR [1] Call to undefined function get_facebook_cookie() in sources_custom/users.php on line 51 (version: 7.1.5, PHP version: 5.2.17, URL: /adminzone/index.php?page=admin_addons&type=misc)

So I can't even remove the addon.

Chris-

I noticed in the commit log that the new Facebook add-on provides support for syndicating to Facebook and Twitter accounts. Is the syndication to FB only available to the account or can you syndicate to a page? I'm not even sure if that is supported in their API but thought I'd ask as we post on a fan/brand page.

@arbo, I think you overwrote /sources_custom/facebook_connect.php with my new file not /facebook_connect.php. Easy mistake to make but they are different files.

@bobs, yes syndication to FB page/user/group walls all possible. Members can have it post to their own user walls.

Thanks Chris. I put it all back, and the facebook_connect in the right place.

No errors.

But then again, nothing looks different on the site, at all. Put in fb api and such.

Try clearing the block cache.

Yeah, cleared that cache, still looks like before I added the addon. Is there potentially some permission somewhere for this?

Hmm, no, the addon includes various template edits that add the Facebook login button. I suppose if the Facebook JS isn't loading (should be loaded in FACEBOOK_FOOTER), or those templates aren't there, or the FACEBOOK_FOOTER template isn't injected (should be via sources_custom/facebook_connect.php).

I looked at the built in facebook 'addin' and the extended one I installed, neither puts a facebook_connect.php in sources_custom. So perhaps I deleted that when I was trying to get it working yesterday.

Got a message from a user they got an error related to a missing facebook_connect.php

So I removed 'facebook' and 'facebook support' addons. Maybe will try again later.

Thanks

I think one point of confusion here (which we're fixing in v8!) is that there are two facebook addons. Here we're talking about the non-bundled one, which you'll find in the addon directory. The builtin one handles syndication to facebook, not facebook logins.

I see.

Well, I removed both of those. And in looking at the files they list as what get's installed, neither lists a sources_custom/facebook_connect.php
so that is where my confusion comes from. If that file is different than the one in / then where does it come from?

This is great. Now we just need a G+ API that is writable and all will be grand.

Unless I'm going crazy, the Facebook addon does. Yes, confirmed, it is in Facebook support - ocPortal

Ok, I installed the bundled facebook stuff. Went into config and entered API and such.

Then installed the facebooks support addon, and now I can get a 'facebook friends' window… but nothing else looks different. Login or footer or anything.

Overridden sources_custom/users.php is meant to call up initialisation of sources_custom/facebook_connect.php, which is supposed to call up the need for FACEBOOK_FOOTER to be added to the footer, which injects the Facebook JS, which the XFBML markup in the overridden LOGIN_SCREEN.tpl (etc) template uses.

I'd check if the Facebook footer stuff is in the page markup. And I'd check the XFBML is in the login screen. That'll give you some guide on where it's sticking at.

Yeah, none of that is in the page source.

This is causing an unneccessary headache. I gotta go do something else for a while.

well, I noticed that it does do something… that may be the built in part.

In the box where it shows facebook fans, I can like and unlike the facebook page that I set it up to link to. so that part is logged into facebook.

But no log into air-rc via facebook can be seen.

The XFBML on the login screen is merely controlled with this in the overridden LOGIN_SCREEN template…

Code



   {+START,IF_NON_EMPTY,{$CONFIG_OPTION,facebook_appid}}
      <hr />

      <p>{!facebook:LOGIN_USING_FACEBOOK}</p>

      <span xmlns:fb="http://api.facebook.com/1.0/">
         <fb:login-button scope="email,user_birthday"></fb:login-button>
      </span>
   {+END}

So the only cause for this not being there would be on of:

template cache stale (unlikely)
facebook_appid option not filled in
template overridden separately in your theme
